According to The South China Post, the man spent 630,000 yuan (RM390,00) on a new apartment on the 40th floor of a block in Chongqing in June and received the keys to flat number 40-4 after submitting copies of his purchase contract and ownership certificate in September.

The company said that there were eight apartments on the 40th floor but only four had been sold. It led to a mix-up and he was given keys to the wrong apartment.

It's unsure how the man is planning to resolve the matter. What a bummer, all that hard earned money has gone to waste. :(
